Liverpool fooled the wiseacres yes
terday and instead of declining, the
market shot up both in futures and
spots.
The cables were very firm, so stable
indeed, that New York and New Or
leans both reflected a sympathetic
chord in the market’s trend.
The foreign market in spots closed
6 points up. and also ascended the
future ladder. New York went up from
22 to 26 points, and New Orleans from
18 to 22.
The weather reports aided the bull
ish tendency of the market, and the
chances are that but little cotton will
have to be replanted.
The local Exchange closed its doors
at noon in honor of Memorial Day.
and the majority of brokers hied them
selves to the links or the ball field.
Quotations were unchanged. There
was little, if anything, doing f. o. b.,
and local traders practically took a
holiday.

COTTON FUTURES.
• New York. April 26. —The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 16# 22
points, showing considerable activity
t.nd excitement as a result of covering
by recent sellers and some demand
from houses with European and South
ern connections, promoted presumably
by the firm showing of the Liverpool
market, where futures, instead of be
ing 3#5 points lower, were B®TO points
higher, with spot cotton in more active
demand than for days past at an ad
vance of 6 points.
On the other hand, the weather map
was somewhat more favorable than ex
pected, low temperatures being con
fined to the northern portions of Texas,
while the rest of the belt was fairly
seasonable, and the advance of nearly
a quarter of a cent attracted heavy
profit-taking by room bulls. Accord
ingly, the market, after the call, lost
about 10#15 points, with the late
months leading under liquidation by
wire houses. New Orleans, however,
sent very bullish wires. The' leaders
In the Southern market were said to
be bidding for large bldeks of May
and July, indicating that May notices
would be taken care of. and shorts
here becoming uneasy, with some ap
prehension as to a bullish crop report
at midday continued covering. With
offerings falling olf slightly.' the mar
ket was again advanced, and before
midday was above the opening figures,
with the general list net 22#26 points
higher.
The Weather Bureau crop bulletin
proved about a stand off, but was
followed by some liquidation, not
withstanding which the market showed
a pretty steady undertone until Just
before the close, when aggressive sell
ing by a local spot house broke the
list sharply arid prices were finally
barely steady, with the advance cut
down to a matter of 7#16 points.
Sales, estimated. 400,000 bales. Port
receipts were below last year's; esti
mates moderately full and export
email.

The unlooked for improvement In
Liverpool caused a sharp demand for
spot cotton; many buyers evidently
believing that bottom prices have been
reached and are anxious to take ad
vantage of the low level. Sales 3,400
hales including 1,750 to arrive, and 200
f. o. b. Quotations advanced, l-16c.
Futures opened firm with an advance
of 19 to 30 points. For a few min
utes shorts covered frantically and then
there was a sudden change; the ring
was flooded with selling orders. These
evidently came from bears and bulls
alike. The bulls took profits while
the bears were attempting to stem the
tide that was setting against the mar
ket. The selling checked the advance
effectively for a time, but at the most
only sent prices off to 11 points from
the first levels around the opening
Later in the day a strong recovery
was seen which carried prices back
almost to the highest levels of tlie
previous hours
Liverpool displayed a firm tone up to
the close and thts coupled with the
bad weather shown in the weather
map proved to be too strong a fea
ture for the bears to work against.
In the trading the fluctuations were
numerous, but narrow .
The market closed quiet with not
gains of 18 to 22 points on the old
and 5 to 9 on the new crop positions.

DF.MF.HF. & HAMMOND
Say That Liverpool Is Doe to Come
Down To-morrow.
Savannah. Ga.. April 26. —There was
not much activity during the after
noon outside of a lot transferring
of open interests from old to the new
months, with October receiving . the
lion share of attention. The more
consideration that was given to the
weekly crop report the less was its
effect as the session more on. Some
wheat land3 in the Southwest that were
injured by the drought are being
planted in cotton, which was a rather
bearish feature, and an offset to the
unfavorable weather and lateness of
planting. Besides it is rather early for
the crop reports to have any! marked
effect.
Local stocks show further losses to
day. whereas last year they gained
2,000 bales to 3,000 bales oil the same
day. There was little or no injury in
the local spot market, and most of
the Southern markets reported a sim
ilar condition.
On our close to-night Liverpool is
due 2% to 3 points on the near, and
4 to 5 points down on the far months.

Cotton Letter to ilnyvrard, Vick A
Com pa ii> .
New' York, April 26.—1 t Is curious
to note the sudden changes in senti
ment without any apparent cause.
Yesterday exporters were loud in their
assertions that nobody wanted any
cotton, and their actions in avoiding
the market certainly led the public
to believe their statements. Asa re
sult of this apparent indifference spots
were marked down %c yesterday in
New Orleans. This unexpected de
mand for spots brings out more strong
ly the peculiar situation In the futures
market. If middling cotton is worth
14 cents and over at Southern ports,
HOW THE CROPS OF GEORGIA
LOOK TO THE DEPARTMENT EXPERTS
Atlanta, April 26.—Following is the
Georgia crop report for the week end
ed last night:
“The week was unseasonably cool,
with light, scattered showers over the
northern half of the state, little or no
rain In middle and southern counties.
These conditions were favorable for
planting, but retarded germination.
“Cotton planting continues in the
north, about completed in the middle
sections; chopping continues In the
south. Stands are generally poor, ow

it certainly looks dangerous to sell May
contracts here at 1314 c and July 1394 c.
Speculation would seem to have a
fine field here, but for the moment
speculation is entirely out of the mar
ket, and we can hardly hope for more
than an occasional sharp rally, when
the short interest becomes over ex
tended. Sentiment, as a rule, contin
ues quite bearish, and on every rise
like the present additions are made to
the short interest. If the rallies are
frequent enough it is possible that
quite a large interest may be created
in summer months, and should that
happen the market would be in a po
sition to be easily manipulated by a
few bold operators.
Cl RR AN A- CO.
Say Tlial Advance Was Dnc to Firm
Ca hies.
Savannah, Ga., April 26. —Cotton
opened firm at an advance of 16 to 22
points, and there was a show of great
er activity. Shorts were nervous and
a large demand came from this source.
Liverpool bought largely all along the
line, and this support attracted atten
tion, with the result that commission
houses took on some cotton for a turn.
Cables were much better than expect
ed. The weather map, while showing
cold weather in Northern Texas, was,
on the whole, favorable.
Private advices from the belt indi
cated a general increase in acreage,
but the crop condition on the whole
was the subject of much conflicting
comment since some interests argued
that a good deal of replanting would
be found necessary later on in the
season.
The stock markets were steady, with
a fair demand, and some of the erst
while bull cliques were said to be
carrying a great deal of spot cotton
at this time. Receipts 8,000. For the
week estimated 40,000, against 66,561
last year.
WARE A- LEI,AND
Cannot See Their Way Clear to Go
Short on t otton.
New York. April 26. —A natural re
covery took place in the market to
day. After a decline of between 60 and
70 points without a reaction, a rally
was to be expected, but the advance
failed to attract business and there
was little on the reaction that short
covering and buying tor an advance on
which to sell again.
The market was somewhat oversold
and enough buying took place in Liv
erpool to put that market up and carry
the level here higher. The general sit
uation did not appear different to an
extent that would attract outside bus
iness. On every recovery to 14 cents,
we can expect more selling. There does
not seem to be the demand from Liv
erpool that is necessary to carry on an
advance. The weekly weather report
was not very good and this helped
some.
We cannot see our way clear to be
short of cotton under the circum
stances. By June 1 the crop will look
like ten million, and any bad weather
wil( put up prices faster than a man
can cover. We would let the market
work back to 11 cents for October and
then we would buy.

BARTLETT. FRAZIER
A CARRIXGTON'S
Grain Letter to Hayward, Vick A
Company.
Chicago, April 26.—Wheat market
was nervous during the morning, but
the trend was upward and before the
close most of yesterday's decline was
recovered. The selling of the past week
was evidently overdone, and we think
liquidation has been pretty thorough,
the market is still a local one, which
is the chief drawback to a, sustained
advance.
Corn—The weakness In May in the
covering by some of the larger shorts
were the features in the corn trade
to-day. The discount of the May un
der the deferred futures, was further
widened. The strength in wheat was
a sympathetic help. The statistical
news was largely bearish. Receipts,
308 cars against 850 last season; sev
enty-two cars graded contract.
Oats were strong on shorts cover
ing and In sympathy with wheat. Cash
houses were buyers of May. presum
ably taking in hedges. Trade on the
whole was small. Receipts were half
what they were a year ago. Demand
for shipment East slow, but the South
is a fair buyer.
Provisions —Market was to a large
extent a repetition of yesterday. There
was more buying by packers, presum-
ably covering shorts, and with the ul
timate purpose of making a market on
which to resell.
DRY GOODS.
New York, April 26.—Buyers of dry
goods are operating cautiously and it
is evident from the irregularity which
is reported in the local market they
have some warrant in doing so. It
is reported a local jobber has made a
price of 7%c on fruits and lonsdales
and kid finished cambrics are also re
ported as being cut by second hands.
To Care Corns, Warts and Rnnlons.
All can be cured quickly without the
knife or pain whatever. Simply use
Abbott's East India Corn Paint as di
rected. For sale by all general stores
and druggists.—ad.
